Two goals in the final 11 minutes at the Liberty Stadium secured Swansea City a 2-0 win over poor travellers Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League.
Ki Sung-yueng and Wayne Routledge struck late on as the Swans broke stubborn Rangers resistance to inflict a seventh straight away loss on their opponents.
The result leaves the Hoops in the relegation zone, while Garry Monk's side climb to sixth in the table.

SWANSEA
Goal
Lukas Fabianski: Unlike his opposite number, the Pole had little to do, but he did make one good save from Fer's close-range header and that proved to be an important contribution before the break. (7/10)
Defence
Jazz Richards: Brought in for the injured Angel Rangel, Richards was never really tested in the first half as Fer was reluctant to run at him. Vargas switched wings at half time, but he dealt with the Chilean well. (6/10)
Kyle Bartley: Again deputised for Federico Fernandez in the centre of defence and had a fairly simple 90 minutes. Was a constant threat from set pieces in the first half and forced Green into a good save. (7/10)
Ashley Williams: Swansea's captain may have been expecting a difficult evening against the in-form Austin, but the Welshman probably had one of the easiest games that he has for a long time. (6/10)
Neil Taylor: Made a couple of good pick-outs when in advanced positions and was regularly willing to join in attacks. (7/10)
Midfield
Leon Britton: Making his first Premier League start of the season, the Swans stalwart slotted back in seamlessly and had a good game. Has lost none of his enthusiasm for closing down and his simple, yet quick, passing helped his side outmanoeuvre the QPR midfield. (8/10)
Ki Sung-yueng: His first goal at the Liberty Stadium could not have come at a better time, with Green looking unbeatable. It was an emphatic finish from the Korean as he thumped right into the bottom corner from a tight angle with his weaker left foot. (7/10)
Jefferson Montero: Shook off a leg injury to feature in Wales and gave Swansea a useful outlet down the left flank. Beat Onuoha on several occasions down the outside, but his final ball wasn't always there. (7/10)
Wayne Routledge: Perhaps should have opened the scoring with his third-minute chance, but the winger showed better composure to make sure of the points on 83 minutes. Was otherwise a little ineffective. (7/10)
Gylfi Sigurdsson: Another influential performance from the attacking midfielder. Came very close to scoring twice, but was thwarted by great Green saves on each occasion. Also provided Bony with several opportunities. He and the Ivorian seem to have a very good understanding. (8/10)
Attack
Wilfried Bony: Did everything but score. Was excellent with his back to goal and produced several sharp turns to lose his markers. Just wasn't his night in front of goal as he found Green in top form, and the post in his way in stoppage time. (8/10)
Substitutes
Nathan Dyer: Played a role in Routledge's goal, but was otherwise quiet after coming on for Montero on 70 minutes. (6/10)
Jonjo Shevley: Wasted a glorious chance to grab Swansea a third in stoppage time when he foolishly overcomplicated things after rounding Green. (5/10)
Tom Carroll: Given a five-minute cameo against the club where he spent last season on loan and played a few nice passes. (6/10)
QPR
Goal
Robert Green: The Premier League may not see a better goalkeeping performance this season. Green was inspired as he denied Sigurdsson, Bony, Routledge and Bartley with a string of top-class saves. So unfortunate to be on the losing side. (9/10)
Defence
Nedum Onuoha: Struggled to contain Montero in the first half as was often beaten down his outside. Tried to help QPR carry the ball forward, but had little support. More comfortable as a centre-back. (5/10)
Steven Caulker: Made several good interceptions and covered well for Dunne once or twice. His record of only one yellow card in over 80 Premier League games is admirable, but he could use his physicality to better, especially against opponents such as Bony. (7/10)
Richard Dunne: Came straight back into the team after serving his suspension as Rio Ferdinand was again left on the bench. Nothing he does is pretty, but the tough Irishman nearly blocked and tackled QPR to a point. Made a couple of crucial interventions when Bony appeared likely to score. (8/10)
Yun Suk-young: Passed a late fitness test to start, but was restricted from making the forward runs that he so enjoys by Swansea's dominance of the territory. (6/10)
Midfield
Eduardo Vargas: Always a willing runner, but Swansea seemed to play close attention to the him, and him being nullified meant that Rangers lost one of their best ways to transfer the ball upfield. (6/10)
Joey Barton: Delivered a couple of deadly set pieces, but otherwise failed to really influence the game due to QPR's lack of sustained spells on the ball. (6/10)
Karl Henry: Made one perfectly-timed slide tackle to prevent Britton from getting a shot away, but was not mobile enough to keep up with the short, swift passing of Swansea's midfield two. (6/10)
Leroy Fer: Is being asked to play out of position, but must involve himself more in the game. Passed up a decent chance to put QPR ahead when he failed to gamble at the back post from a Barton free kick. Must do better. (5/10)
Niko Kranjcar: Barely had a touch for the first 30 minutes, so dropped deeper to get the ball, but that is not where he does his damage. A fine footballer, but Bobby Zamora, if fit, would have been a better bet. (5/10)
Attack
Charlie Austin: Very isolated and starved of service, the closest that the seven-goal striker came to adding to his tally was a frustrated 25-yard shot which went comfortably wide. Will be hoping for a better game against former club Burnley on Saturday. (5/10)
Substitutes
Junior Hoilett: Introduced immediately after Swansea's first goal, but their quickfire second killed the QPR spirit and thus Hoilett saw little of the ball. (6/10)
